Een van de beste boeken over communicatie die ik ooit las. Zou fantastisch zijn als iedereen dit zou lezen. Veel meer dan alleen over communicatie: King gaat ook in op mentaal welzijn, grenzen en behoeften als onderliggende invloeden op communicatie en geeft daarmee eigenlijk een heel beknopte beschrijving van zelfhulpboeken. Veel aantekeningen bij gemaakt

June 30, 2022Proceed through the last section with caution. The author does not seem to be Trauma informed and is trying to explain how an individual should manage triggers (very incorrectly) as well as shadow work (which isn’t even defined correctly). Most of the last section completely contradicts every other part of the book that came before it.

Based on the foundational work on Non Violent Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, this book is a solid introduction to improving communication with positive intention.
A lot of people today strongly believe they are communicating with any attention to how their expression triggers the intended recipient. This book would help bring awareness to the effect of your communication pattern on the intended recipients and help you communicate from a need based perspective

This is a well written and effectively structured book on intentional communication.
It is not a 'hippy' book. It provides clear strategies to enable listening and building connections and collaboration.
This book avoids the categorization of 'victim' and demonstrates how to create strategies to handle difficult situations and (re)claim and recentre our needs and goals.
